Thor vs. Lightsaber | Because Science Footnotes 

Theorizing the science of peeing around a celestial body Not all heroes wear capes

People keep in mind: Disney owns both Marvel and Star Wars. A Thor vs Vader crossover is not outside the realm of possibility.

"Consider yourself, noticed." That's the best thing I've heard in my entire life.

Dinkleburg is from Fairly Oddparents.

Hey Kyle, in World of Warcraft they recently had a God/Demon plunge a giant sword into the planet. What would be the really happen to a planet with that kind of impact?

Oh, you actually brought me in? Wow, I was sorta only half believing that you could allow that. As for what my score is, I'd have to double check, but I don't feel very good about it.

I think Kyle would make a good Vsauce4... just saying

Whoa, was I sleeping on an asteroid last night?

Kyle, in regards to the potato chip bag; if you bring a bag of potato chips somewhere high in the mountains, the gas in the bag becames a higher pressure than the air in the mountainous area and will reflat the bag, occasionally will even pop the bag depending on how high up you are and the strength of the bag itself.

The forge also explains why he is always so Thor!

Can a planet perfectly figure 8 orbit two similar stars? And what would the seasons be like?

How can Thanos snap with a metal glove on? That bothers me.

I've seen an actual person chop a plastic airsoft BB with an actual katana on Stan Lee's Superhumans on the History channel. It was quite impressive, being that the BB had such a smaller surface area than say a 9 mm or a .45 round.

just makes ya wonder, what is the forge made out of that it itself doesnt melt, like the handles of the door that Thor has to hold open which are directly in the closest and hottest narrowing of the energy beam

I love the way like remembers things. It's like he's mentally googling something

Reality Stone, the gauntlet is now right handed.

“Who so ever wields this hammer, should they be worthy, shall have the power of Thor.” In other words, The source of Thor’s power is still himself, but the hammer acts as a conduit for his power, and can be wielded by whoever should be worthy. And so Thor is not only a person, but also a title.

Best person at nerdist

Love these videos. Wish they were longer. So sad to see them come to an end. Having to wait for the next is almost painful. PUT OUT MOARRRRRRR!!....plz :D.

A Dyson Spear would embody the incredible power of suction, but would cost way more than you should be paying for a vacuum cleaner, or a spear.

DINKLEBERG!

Amazing video KH LOVE YOUR WORK!!!

Can Groot be regrown from the handle of storm breaker? In the same manner it was done in guardians of the galaxy.

Interestingly enough talking about the X-ray by death. There was a recorded case where a man was X-ray to death while the technicians were having the freaky time. They even mention it on 1000 ways to die series.

"if he be worthy, he will have the power of THOR" not if he be worthy he will have the power of MJOLNIR

about the potato chips - i work at a Jimmy John's in Colorado, and our chips are packaged and sealed at a lower altitude. when they ship them to us, the air inside the bags expands because of the pressure change. we get a lot of popped and ruined bags of chips because of this. maybe that's what they were talking about? idk.

love that instant back-peddle.

Great video Kyle!

What if you threw a dyson spear at a dyson sphere? Would it bleed dyson blood? 🤔

Can you talk about how slip space works from halo is it like a worm hole

12:50 I love Nate losing it in the background LuL

I like how Thor's name is written on your hammer with runes.

Nice Witcher shirt.

So Peter dinkleberg should have made a forge out of a Death Star laser?

The fly catching bit was timed in under a minute!

There it is "...Do better." Busted out laughing

Myolnir containing the power of Thor was a curse from Oden, where he stripped Thor of his power and placed it within myolnir until he was worthy again. Which was broken when myolnir was detroyed allowing his power to return and grow within him.

Did you tie your hair back to look more like Thor?

That intro was amazing!

Nice footnotes episode Kyle.

Thor vs Darth vader death battle!!!

Well, they would be x-rays viewed here on earth. Because of red shirt, they would actually be low-energy or mid-energy gamma rays. Thor would have been exposed to 8 minutes of gamma radiation.

Favorite science mans on youtube right here!

8:40 lol the crossover

But Mythbusters already tested the 'cutting bullets' myth...! Are you getting LAZY, Kyle...?

If its casted not forged, how did it get so sharp? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Nice t-shirt Kyle, love it :)

that ending was perfect

I mean, don't you guys flip the video when you do Because Science? So he does use the left infinity gaunlet, but it's the right hand to us

Are this simbles in your shirt the signs from the Witcher?

I love this. I need to find that fanfiction of Thor shrugging off Vader's light saber before punching him through a building. And kind of amazing that the Empire would effectively need to shoot Thor with a planet destroying super laser to kill him.

Great show as always. Keep up the amazing job. Honored to be the 1k 👍 on this video. 😁

Thor is not human, so it would not kill him

Dear Kyle Hill, I was wondering if you could make just once a theory about the Mandela Effect. Some people remembered that Pikachu had a black tip on its tail. But now, some people recalled that Pikachu's tail doesn't have a black tip on its tail. Some speculations say that the cause of the Mandela effect was the exchange of our reality which was from another universe/dimension. Just please make one theory about it. Just once.

10:38 This was the best! I am sorry, I spilled my water when I heard this XD

18:49 I'm wheezing 😂😂😂

I have a question.....Is water wet? Think about it when you put something to water Its gonna be wet but Is water wet by itself? Explain it to me

The closest thing to a dyson spear would probably be a megastructure known as a shkadov thruster which is in it's simplest form a modified version of a dyson sphere (basically putting everything on one side to move the star and it's system in a specific direction). This not only makes you able to migrate your starsystem which is friggin awesome but also makes you able to focus the output of the star in a direction (kind of like starkiller base, only that the "shot" really only travels by lightspeed this time). And of course you could "ram" your star(system) into something.

I'm stocked that I made it to Footnotes. I had guessed that would happen. I had been attempting to figure the power ratios for different weapons in the Star Wars universe and the Death Star was the easiest to figure out based on the feats in the movies. And Turbo lasers are a surprising more potent than people give them credit for.

We need some short films with those ideas!!! 9:00 maybe for next subscriber milestones??

Every time you say 'Uru', I think of that scene in Finding Dory: "Ooroo! Ooroo!"

C's get degrees lol. RIP my psychology class final 😭

I think that because Thor held Mjolnir at least once, he now has the power all the time, even while he's not holding it

Hey Kyle, Just another note when considering how much power difference that thor standing in front of the aperture would make is that only EM radiation in the visible spectrum would be blocked, anything Higher than an Xray in the vicinity of 100kV (Typical Chest xray level) would basically pass directly through Thor. Probably lower than the 5% difference you mentioned. Love the show!

SHEPARD!!! he said that like a wreath lol

"What do you look up?" LMAO

You forgot to add why forged weapons are preferred to cast ones. Shadiversity explains it in one of his videos if you want to give him another shoutout.

About the neutron star material: Depends on what part of the neutron star you took it from, but lets say it would be closer to the surface than the core and the hammer would "only" be as heavy as the pyramid of giza (instead of a teaspoon being that heavy already): That would still mean the hammer would expanding to the volume of the pyramid near instantly (and ripping apart) likely forming the biggest non-nuclear artificial explosion in human history.

Timmy's dad blasts through the wall..."Dinkleburrrrggggg"

I loved the ending of this video. It was funny. HA!

You can do casting in a forge, and since it is quite obvious that other things have been made there, including the Destroyer, one can assume it was used as a forge more than once, so it is accurate (probably) to call it a Forge

Regarding the casting vs. forging of Storm Breaker, would not the intense gravity of the neutron star in fact have the same effect of of the power hammer in moving the material as it is cooled? Thus in effect taking a cast ingot and forging it?

Dinkleberg - Fairly Odd Parents character - Could it have been a play on words?

17:03 the best kind of right.😁

It didn't happen in the movie but it is possible to cast and forge a weapon. It is possible that some (off camera) forging on Stormbreaker happened after it was cast.

16:37 >Gets correction for Forge vs Foundry >"In a foundry"

Thank you Kyle, I already had the pressure of having to score well on the final without your sass :)

Hi Kyle love your work back when you did the Thor's Hammer vs the Juggernaut video, at the end you mentioned you were going to do a video about whether Thor's original hammer Mjoinr (spelling fail) would be able to take on a lightsaber. whatever happened to that video?

Please do a video on that

Two things: Since the theme is "nit-pick you to death"; why would you wear a fake gauntlet on your right hand, in order to free your right hand for finger-snapping? Also, the difference between a cast ax and a forged ax is far more significant than "semantic".

SWEET ENDING LOL

Could uru be a foam? Something like a two part mixture meant to expand, like expanding foam for sculpting or filling cracks. It could be a miniscule amount of material, but is engineered to react and stabilize so it doesn't explode when it leaves the gravity of the star.

You can still pre-cast a weapon and then hammer (repeatedly) it to get the martensite configuration of steel to form, which is super hard (like HRC 60-65) and holds an edge very well. I don't know if Uru undergoes similar configuration changes - fictional metals are not very well documented in engineering terms

O_O.. i snapped my finger right towards the end.... WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!

I can see the Peter Dinkleberg memes forming as a crossover of Fairly Odd Parents & Game Of Thrones already. Somebody who can draw work on this.

We had a similar thing with wonder woman's arm things.

Hi Kyle, On the morphing through an object using vibration question, Could the vibration of, say, the hand of The Flash, change the quantum probabilities? ie more probabilities at the extremes of the distributions or something.

But otherwise i love your videos thanks i trully learn a lot

With the lightsaber against Thpr... the neutron star blast was covering a much larger surface area of him while the lightsaber is hitting him in a much smaller surface area (assuming its a stab) I'm not sure if a smaller surface area would change the outcome at all though

And my second note in regards to Forging... A LOT of cast weapons have to be forged after the fact. Reference Men at Arms. The originally cast axe would have been low on form and blunt. Forging was required to make it's proper shape and prepare the edge for sharpening.

fairy godparents reference whoosed kyle @16:00

With the talk about Thor's abilities, I can't help but think about the quote from the first movie: “Your Ancestors Called it Magic, but You Call it Science. I Come From a Land Where They Are One and the Same.” What this implies is that while some may consider Thor being magical, his abilities are in fact some type of advanced Asgardian technological enhancement/implant that is capable of manipulate electricity or electrons in some way. This technology might also explain why he is able to reduce the damage that x-ray blast would have done to him. If he is able to generate a magnetic field (Magneto's secret power episode in reverse) capable of deflect most of it like how Earth does it. However, the fact that he get shocked by electricity in the movie likely means the field can only deflect externally, and does not protect him when the energy is in contact. Depending how you imagine a lightsaber would work, this may or may not protect him adequately. It could deflect the blade on a slash, but might not work as well on a thrust to the hilt.

We already saw the density of Groot in GoTG1. He was able to go through both bodies, and (both sides of the) body armour, of +6 separate soldiers. Then had the strength in material to lift them all up, an flop them around like rag dolls. He’s made up of organic matter, at least as strong as any metal we have on earth.

It will be fun talking about Adam Warlock. There is much Power inside

"And this is where I would put my super nerd.... IF I HAD ONE!" "Dinkelburg!"

Is it possible to create a green laturn ring and how does it create hard light construction and how would you recharged it

OK Kyle, that's the 2nd weapon you inspired me to make for my D&D world. First, what i ended up calling the Fulmen Blade, which was Wonder Woman's sword, cut through anything, leave lightning trails. Now the Dyson Spear. A spear that you wielder can grow to any size. Just say the word, and it starts growing until you tell it to stop. Damage increasing when it grows, but becoming more and more impossible to actually wield.

I want that fic!!!

I WANT THAT TSHIRT PLEASE

Also about the source of lightning, depends if you are looking at the mcu or the comics. In the comics it is most certainly the hammer, its actually a entity trapped in the hammer by Odin, who can't wield the hammer due to the fact the entity is upset with being trapped. Only those the entity deem worthy gain the powers of thor. In the mcu, the hammer was simply a conductor for his power. Hence the Odin son era and Jane foster thor in the comics.
